“Community partners hold knowledge that can only manifest itself through the daily interactions of their settings and disciplines,” said Luciano Ramos, director of UMass Boston’s Office of Community Partnerships. “At the same time, our students, faculty, and staff bring their own experiences and expertise. Together is the only way we will be able to make a permanent impact.”
